Another day squandered, too tired to go out, the rain justifies my laziness.
A couple of feeble garage sales yesterday, not on a mission but stumbled across in the neighborhood, a pair of speakers and subwoofer for the computer, great, these should give me the ability to sell my stereo....sadly, despite reassurances from the seller they didn't work.
A trip to the dry cleaners, sign "On Vacation until July 12...", handy, all my clean clothes are imprisoned, I do laundry and pay the roommate to iron my shirts for me.
Then work, slow but time passes and there are now a mere 4 weeks left.
The owner, he shows me his copy of National Geographic, it just came in the mail, there's a picture of some Muslims eating in a communal area, he's amazed because he thinks that they're eating with the same hand they wipe their ass with and I explain that there's a very strict etiquette about that in Muslim countries, he's doubtful, and somewhere inside I'm amazed that he purchases it, it's more-or-less as a reference to endangered animals he hasn't yet had a chance to kill, a throwback to the days when seeing a tribeswoman without a shirt was a big thrill, hardly their target audience....
The urge to go out last night, quickly thwarted by the grim bus trip home, the thought of a shower and another change of clothes is sufficient deterrent to keep me in. I'm getting older than my years at this job.
Today, flea market, thrift shops, played some more with the speakers and subwoofer *(it really doesn't work), multiple naps, late coffee, and now it's time to work on outstanding projects. So time passes.
